The international community is duty bound to mediate and involve itself in order to halt the injustice done to the people of Jammu Kashmir.

London branch of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has condemned the move by the Pakistani authorities to make Gilgit Baltistan a part of Pakistan constitutionally.

In a statement issued after the meeting of JKLF London Branch, it said that Gilgit Baltistan is part & parcel of JammuKashmirState and Pakistan has no legal or moral justification whatsoever to annex this part of Jammu Kashmir.

The statement said that at one hand Kashmiri people are fighting the Indian occupation and now Pakistan, the so-called “big brother” of Kashmiris is back-stabbing the people of Jammu Kashmir and their sacred movement for national emancipation. By taking this illegal and unjust step, Kashmiris are being forced to consider Pakistan in par with India. If Pakistan really cares for Kashmiris and wants peace in the region, it must not betray Kashmiris, who have also sacrificed so much for Pakistan.

JKLF and people of Kashmir will strongly oppose and resist conspiracies against the sacred cause of freedom and the fundamental rights of the people from all parts of forcibly divided state of Jammu Kashmir of which Gilgit-Baltistan is an integral part till the end.

The meeting was attended by President of JKLF London Branch Mahmood Faiz, Vice President Mohammad Farooq, General secretary Mohammad Saleem, Cllr Mahmood Hussain, Javaid Rashid, Tariq Sharif, Sanawar Hussain, Tasalat Hussain and other office bearers of JKLF London branch.
